Our Divine Challenge Chapter Three: Discovering the True Spiritual Path of Oahspe Part 1 (2022)

1

Statement of Explanation June 23rd, 2018

The full book of which this section is a small part is not yet finished. That book is called Discovering the True Path of Oahspe.

Currently it is but the first

version. It may be several years more before it is completely finished, for example, footnotes are not standardized nor are the sources yet included.

However, it is being made public, one section at a time, and even though some errors may still be found in this book of research. The motivation for doing this is to admonish right now all who mistakenly and blindly follow those who work to make Oahspe into a religious cult, thereby seeking to glorify themselves instead of really practicing what Oahspe emphatically advises. In essence, Oahspe was channeled for the new age for three main purposes: (1) to teach every 2

person how to hear the Creator’s Voice directly without the need of a priest or seer, (2) to teach all the importance of making sacrifices, of achieving good works of service for the benefit of those in need or in darkness, and (3) to begin to work together to establish

communities

that

are

developing

in

Oneness with the Creator and in Harmony with the angelic heavens.

I Take My Stand

without hope without faith

— all is ashes — we return to dust

without joy — we are the living dead without love

— there is no reason to be

I take my stand upon my immortal soul; Lifting the weight of the world and all its darkness, 3

Casting failure and fear, anger and bitterness, lust and selfishness, Into the void never to return.

I summon all that I am from heavens infinite within; Knowing and willing, the One Covenant of angels, Eloih.

Light and Love we now fire and shine like crystal stars, comets; Breathing the eternal firmament of etherea beyond.

Into dark depths We plunge without wait, Seeking the lost, confounded souls mired in graves of anguish.

Let there be but one spark, one note of spirit resounding; Finding We forever rise together forging, flowing illumination.

§1: Obstacles to the True Spiritual Path

There would be no spiritual progression if there were no challenges to achieving such. In that sense, no one would merit achieving salvation or attaining entrance to the higher heavens without the real life experience problems of how to deal with darkness within us and around us.

This is not to say that we should wish evil to befall others in the hope that they will become stronger, 5

more ethical individuals. This is also not to say we should immerse ourselves in various kinds of addictions, violence and sinful behavior, since ultimately we will benefit from such negativity and depravity due to our later redemption.

No! — the major theme here is that there are detrimental elements which encourage us to avoid doing what is right, which blind us from choosing the higher path. In the end, each and all of us must find our own way to the higher heavens, discovering over time how to become an angel true to God Almighty.

Flatter not yourselves that ye shall suddenly reform all the world. Ye can at most but reach an arm’s length.

(Eskra 29:18) *6

6

There is a kind of euphoria when one is first introduced to grand spiritual principles which can cause one to celebrate all the wonderful and good things one is now free to accomplish.

For instance,

we may envision ourselves establishing communal utopias across the world. And in doing so, we experience great happiness, so much so that in fact we spend all our time imaging such, telling others about such plans, rather than taking any concrete steps to begin to build such communities.

This verse is a great reminder to ground ourselves in taking concrete but small, achievable steps; first in order that we begin to achieve, as soon as possible, as many acts of kindness and goodness that we may.

7

Because one man cannot lift up the whole world he shall not grieve, nor cease doing what he can; for his glory lieth in exerting himself to the full. (Wars 55:6) *6

Quitting before one starts may often seem attractive.

Due to Oahspe’s all-encompassing, demanding ideals, it would be small wonder if one did not fail fulfill them to a large degree. Making the time and energy and money in order to help the poor and homeless, mentally-afflicted or physically challenged requires intense dedication. In this verse we perceive that each of us had better at least do a little of what we can do rather than doing nothing at all.

At such times, it would be well to recall an important precept of Oahspe: Never give up! Never stop trying to help others less fortunate than ourselves.

8

God said: The words that come out of man's mouth, even though they profess prayers and repentance, are of little avail before Jehovih. But the words that come out of good works done unto others to raise them up, are as the sound of a trumpet that reacheth beyond the stars. (Es 17:21) *6

Here we must keep in mind that talk is cheap. What we can also discover about the many cults that are associated with the New Age Bible called “Oahspe” is that 95%+ are far more interested in being nothing more

than

a

traditional

church.

Thus,

these

congregations focus on rituals and rites, Oahspe readings to discuss, but seldom if ever to take direct action as a good work team to help the poor, the homeless and afflicted in their sins. In fact, from my own personal observations, directly helping others is a very rare topic. Far greater interest has been shown

9

in UFOs, study of Saphah’s obscure and Masonic symbolism, and spirit communion rituals.

Yet if any of us can make that extra commitment by living and acting in our real life with a devotion to helping

those

in

need,

a

very

significant

transformation will take place. We will discover that we have all the love and blessings in heaven and earth to accomplish any good we set out to do. And such “angels” of earth will receive full support, all the love and light and power of the heavens to achieve such good.

And they shall be cast in anarchy and destruction; the nations shall fall; the religions of their fathers shall fail them, and their prayers shall go up in vain to my holy place. Because they have denied me, and denied Jehovih, Creator of Life, and set themselves up to 10

explain away me and my heavenly governments.

Neither shall they perceive Jehovih till they put away the darkness that is in them. And my judgments shall pursue them on earth and in the lower heavens, and they shall be bound to rise not nor to live in peace till they acknowledge that righteousness of heart and good works done unto one another are the power of resurrection I gave unto my people.

(Prophet 2:6) *

This is a Judgment Day or Fires of Hell kind of sermon, truly intimidating and frightening. What makes this passage especially concerning is that if we take a look at the current state of the world in 2022, it is very easy to believe that extraordinary “anarchy and destruction” is coming our way.

Food

and energy production are being canceled or sabotaged intentionally.

The corruption of our 11

government officials and leaders nationally, statewide, city-wide is ever more obvious. Sadly enough as well, the degree of righteousness which we need to settle and fulfill all our social obligations, whether that of family or friends, colleagues or classmates, reveals that every kind of sinful behavior is on the rise.

In anticipation of this “fall of nations” I have begun to stockpile food, water and other daily supplies. To a lesser degree I have only begun to consider alternative ways to generate or have enough power supplies to wash our clothes, heat our homes, and cook our food.

For when all energy and food and

water supplies have dwindled to a life-threatening level, we can only expect more chaos, as those who are lacking the necessities, shall strike back to take by force all of such across the world and as well across all of America.

12

May The Great Spirit during such times direct all good angels to come to our assistance so that no H-Bombs, no series of plan-demics, no Fascist stormtroopers and robots, shall have the remotest chance to wipe millions of us off the face of the earth.

Second to acting with Faith in The Great Spirit, my next hope is that somehow the vile demonic in power currently or recently, will fight so much among themselves, that they will destroy their ability to kill, enslave, infect, and imprison virtually everyone in the world, as is there currently plan. Evil destroying evil is a common historical theme and may also be part of our survival of the turbulent worldwide cataclysms coming our way.

13

Who are these enemies of humanity and civilization?

A few of the most well-known include:

George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, Jacinda Ardern, Bill Gates, George Soros, Scott Morrison, Anthony Fauci, Randi Weingarten, Rochelle Walensky, Jack Quinn, Patrisse Cullors, Jeff Bezos, Klaus Schwab, Vladimir Putin, Alexis McGill, Larry Fink, Ted Turner, and Xi Jinping, among many others.

Why do I feel compelled to name them? First, they deserve a great deal of shaming due to the horrendousness of their crimes. Secondly, so that those who do not yet understand may be warned in 14

time to stop believing and working with their subordinates and dark ideas and programs.

We the Good People of the world, who number in the billions, want only to lead lives of peace and happiness. We pray for successful labor and liberty.

We seek and envision good health but also good will towards each and every person.

Yes, we may need to avoid the big cities where most of the carnage will likely take place. We will need to take flight and defend against those who violently attack our loved ones, communities and home.

All

we are saying is that each day we will pray and work for peace and justice and freedom, with all our might, with all our soul, with all our love.

With absolute faith

and active work for the good of all, heaven on earth and in the hereafter will be our happy destination.

§2: Good Works: The Fervor Required

The question before us is how to change ourselves for the better. And an even better one involves how to change the world for the better. Of course, there is no impending necessity for us to change at all. Yet we perceive that if we do not seek an ascension either 16

for ourselves or for our partners, we shall surely fall.

Our first premise in this regard is that if we are truly sincere about achieving resurrection, then we must look carefully initially at how to assist our fellow brother and sister to rise by their own efforts as much as possible. Our second premise is that we have no chance at either unless we ignite our inner sacred fire to burn with the intensity that shall empower us to uplift others without fail.

But hear Thou my prayer, O Father! Make me strong, that I may carry heavy burdens for the weary; give me liberty, that I may go about helping the poor forever. Give me wisdom, that I may uncover Thy glories before men.

(Cpenta-Armij 2:11) *6

Talk about intensity and focus! Going about to help the poor forever! Uncovering Universal Glories that 17

shall transfix and inspire all of humanity!

Where do

we begin to obtain the will power to bring great service unto those in our lives?

It would seem that

such a selfless transformation can only take place where we throw caution to the wind by releasing all our energy and might into changing ourselves for the better by working to help anyone in our reach. To achieve such, we can begin where we produce prayers, thoughts, feels with a great power that can only be produced by our innermost spirit-soul.

And

then we must act!

Henceforth I will neither preach nor hear preaching. Only to labor and to do good, and be in peace within my own soul, and with my neighbors, and to glorify Thee. (Ben 5:41) *6

This is more of the same yet its conciseness is breathtaking. This is the sum of all the Ideals of 18

Oahspe condensed in 130 words. Surely this tone is what it means to be ONE with Our Creator. What illimitable power resides in such resolution!

Yes, in

the end we can only be certain if this was real commitment by observing subsequent efforts to do good unto others less fortunate than ourselves.

I will do good with all my might; the tears of the suffering poor shall be as scalding blood in my veins; I will not sit down and rest, nor take my ease, nor hold needless possessions whilst they are in want. (Arc of Bon 23:22) *6

This verse has always deeply moved me. It is the essence of fervor. It is maximum dedication to make a difference in the world. I may have worked directly for 4 years in Africa yet I never expressed such devotion towards working for the poor as in this case.

Is this such an extreme declaration that few people

19

can take it seriously?

I hope not. I hope it moves all

as it did for me to labor for the poor.

The following is an exceptionally long passage from Oahspe concerning good works in the heavens and hells. Its ultimate effect is to cause many a reader to look to embrace any means whereby they might mitigate the suffering of souls from catastrophe or trapped in hells of their own making.

And yet there were other millions of them, so low and stupid and crazed, that the others ran over them as if they were but a heap of rubbish, death! Then Fragapatti went to Hoab, saying: For pity's sake, come thou and help me, and persuade thy hosts also. Hoab said: O friend, and brother, do not mock me! Thou hast undone me entirely. I am nothing. My hosts are nothing. For pity's sake, temper thou thine own light. It pierceth me through. Fragapatti said: Shall I not send thee back quickly to Zeredho, with thy hosts? Hoab said: My wish is nothing; my will is nothing! Thine and the Great All Power's will be done. Fragapatti said: If ever thou hadst faith in thy life, I charge thee now quickly to summon it to thy soul, for Great Jehovih is with me

20

now, and but ask and speak in faith by thy Creator, and it shall be granted unto thee. Speak quickly, whilst yet the power holdeth upon me:

Shall I put on a thousand-fold more light? Say thou: IN FAITH I WILL ENDURE ALL, FOR THE GLORY OF JEHOVIH! GIVE ME, FIRE OR TORMENTS, OR WHATSOEVER THOU WILT, O JEHOVIH! Hoab trembled, and then strained in every part, and at last suddenly sprang up facing the light, melting in the flame of fire; and he said: I WILL ENDURE ALL, IN FAITH OF THEE, O JEHOVIH! GIVE ME, FIRE OR TORMENTS, OR WHATSOEVER THOU WILT. HENCEFORTH, I WILL DO FOR THEE, FOREVER!

Presently, his spirit took the crystal form, and the victory dawned upon his soul. A smile denoting knowledge of All Holiness and Majesty gleamed in his countenance! The light began to retract and to reflect from his face, brilliant and sun-like. He had conquered and won! He said: Thanks, O Jehovih! Fragapatti said: Quick, now, seize the goal; go forth practicing thy light for others, and it will grow, giant-like. And Hoab was strong in faith, almost mad with the delight of such wondrous change; and he rushed forth, commanding, in the name of Jehovih, raising up hundreds and thousands, even as he had been raised, crystallizing. All one day and one night they labored, and all the ethereans with them; and they rescued, and divided, and

21

sub-divided the spirits of darkness into grades and sections. And many of the spirits belonging to the hosts of Hoab were thus raised to the second resurrection, with light and power. (Fragapatti 11:8-15) *6

Aside from the inspiration of being willing to work in hell itself to rescue the fallen, there are several other related important points.

First, as we make the effort and sacrifices to aid the lost in darkness, we find that we are raised ourselves to new heights of light and sacredness. As above, so below. Equally true, as you give, you also receive.

Certainly the hero in this story found his power exponentially increasing, even to the point of ethereal crystallization, as he put forth all his innermost spirit-soul to heal and raise countless numbers of hell-entrapped persons. All it took was invincible resolution and faith, fully attuned to The All-Highest Spirit of Our Creator, in order to transform the fallen 22

souls to upraised and rising spirits. I say “All it took” while acknowledging that such a paragon of dedication appears to be angelic or god-like.

Are

each of us capable of such holy devotion? Yes — if we keep trying sincerely until we reach such a degree of fortitude.

§3: Good Works: The Highest Light

23

As creations of Our Creator, as sons and daughters of Father-Sky-Mother-Earth, we seek that which is Infinite, … Eternal, … Almighty. We recognize our current limitations, faults, and ignorance. We also know that we can overcome every one of these if we will but join with THE ALL POWER, THE ALL LIGHT, THE ALL LOVE. Hence the spiritual quest of our lives is to go beyond our boundaries in order to discover new knowledge as well as achieve new glories.

Hence, though we stumble at times, our will to succeed only continues to increase in intensity.

We

see the sun, the moon and the stars only to realize we wish to rise to those high places if only we knew the way there. In short, The All-Highest is our dream quest.

Yet you may be pointing out how many have little or no desire to improve themselves. They seek the dark 24

pleasures of every vice imaginable. Nevertheless, though some may crash to the lowest planes of hell, there will come a time when they shall repent, seek forgiveness and finally vow to rise toward the heavens of resurrection. Thus, all in time must, will, and do seek the All-Highest, who is Our Creator Spirit-Soul, though they may tarry for thousands and thousands of years in the turmoil, pain and darkness of the paths of sin!

I call all people unto me and my kingdom; happiness proclaim I as a result of right-doing and good works; whoever do these are one with me in the framing of words. (Discipline 14:12) *6

One’s own personal experience surely proves the truth in these words. Think of a time when you were obsessed with the enjoyment of some kind of tempting vice. This may have been alcoholic drinks, illegal drug highs, sexual perversity, deadly violence, 25

gambling or painful lies and smears. Obviously, while the nearby demons may have been laughing merrily, if you took a single honest moment of reflection, you realized to your horror you looked and felt like a disaster.

On the other hand, think of a time when you were daily involved in good works, even if under the most difficult conditions, how did you feel then? Most likely you only felt great innermost peace, with The All-Voice of Our Creator speaking words of comfort encouragement, and joy at all times with you.

If I recall my drinking days with my drinking friends, I recall much laughter and amusement. Yet as time went on, I also recall that I felt more terrible and depressed. The poisons in the alcohol affected my judgment and mental health ever more detrimentally.

26

Despite the apparent “fun” in drinking — arguments, fights, mental illness, alcohol addiction, and car accidents will inevitably happen.

The chances for

alcohol-induced death increase as well as the years go by. However, the chances for spiritual and mental disease are far higher and will be harmful far longer in the lower realms when that stage of existence is reached.

Conversely, when I labored with the poor of Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I may never have been happier in my life. For despite the hardships of lacking many modern conveniences, the lack of money, while being far from home and exhausted by daily travel and work, there was a constant flow of peace and joy. Even more significantly, I realized while there that even though the thousands of poor farmers in the nearby villages made $200 a year and 27

had 6 to 10 children to support, while being cheated of half their income by their corrupt governments, they were far happier, far more generous and far more at peace than 99% of those living in the “modern” “developed” world!

The following verses from Oahspe speak to these same spiritually-crucial points:

Jehovih said: I answer all things by good. To the good at heart I give good thoughts, desires and holy observations. To the perverse of heart I hold up My glories and the beneficence of virtue and peaceful understanding. To them that practice charity and good works unto others, laboring not for self, I give the highest delight. Though they be pricked in the flesh with poverty and wicked persecutions, yet their souls are as the waters of a smooth-running river. Amongst them that practice evil, and destruction, and war, I send emissaries of benevolence and healing, who have plenteous

28

words of pity. These are My arrows, and spears, and war-clubs, O God: Pity, gentle words, and the example of tenderness. Soon or late, these shall triumph over all things in heaven and earth.

(Wars 17:12-13) *6

In a few words, love and kindness unto all as often as we can and in as many ways that we are inspired to share, represent the heavenly peace and happiness we will be blessed with as our just due.

The

Kingdom of God is every before us, above us, below us and within us. All we have to do is to enter such heavens. Such transcendent serenity, is to train ourselves to think, feel and act as angels devoted to loving all persons.

My Hand is ready to whomsoever will reach forth unto Me. My voice Voice is ready and clear to whomsoever will turn away from other things, and away from philosophers and ambiguous words, serving Me in good works. My Light is present, and answereth

29

unto all who follow their all highest knowledge.

(Inspiration 10:24-26) *6

O Creator, we turn to Thee! Let Thy All Voice speak into the depths of our being! Let us then work every day to fulfill Thy Will with all the goodness of our spirit, our love.

The Lord said: That that speaketh to thy soul, O man, teaching thee wisdom and good works; reproving thee for thy faults, and enchanting thee with the glories of all created things, is the voice of thy Creator. And that is the road by which the Lord thy God cometh to thee. (Lord’s 4th Book 2:4) *6

Thus, none of us is ever totally lost nor condemned to the hells below. Therefore, we should never give up working on how to make the lives of others more filled with happiness and meaning. And in seeking the good of others before our own, we will automatically receive such blessings for our own immortal life. All 30

we need do is seek The All Voice and live in as close as we can in sweet accord with The Almighty Will that is being expressed within our consciousness, our heart, our soul divine!

One final set of verses beautifully encapsule how wonderful LIFE and our place in the Universe Wondrous really are!

31

Thy spirit is as a seed of a beautiful tree, which thy Creator planted; give thou it good light and a clean soil, that the blossoms and the fruit thereon may glorify thy Creator and thee. Such is the resurrection of the spirit of men. Wait not for a Savior to save thee; nor depend thou on words or prayers; nor on hearkening to good sermons, flattering thyself, thou hast done well; but begin to save thyself. By purifying thy flesh, by purifying thy thoughts, and by the practice of good works done unto others, with all thy wisdom, love and strength. For through these only is there any resurrection for thee, either in this world or the next. (Judgment 13:44-47) *6

32
